I was at the game Sunday night and what happened was unbelievable.When the game was over, the city went crazy. I was in a little bar on Bourbon Street and an older black man around my age was by me and we (both crying) just grabbed each other and hugged.It was awesome. Blacks hugging whites, Crypts hugging Bloods, dogs hugging cats, cowboys hugging Indians.I even saw a couple guys hugging their wives. It was magical.I wish I could have that feeling all the time and all people could treat each other that way every day. God bless all the present and past players, coaches, front-office guys, ball boys, Saintsations and fans who have waited all these years for this night to happen and when you go outside, don’t look up.Right now, I think every pig on this planet is airborne.One more to go: Black and Gold Super Bowl, baby. P.S. If the people in Miami think they know how to party, wait until 180,000 Cajuns show up with their beads, boudin and Jax beer. I don’t know if they are ready for that Go Saints!
